Hello everyone. I’m a little late posting this card, as I had to wait for some of the items to dry. I was inspired by the current challenge at Time Out – the theme is ‘Sweet Treats‘. Here is my card:

I started by creating the cupcake, and using products – again – from the recent SCT event. This cupcake die is from Pretty Pink Posh. I die cut the base of the cupcake in a light pink, the blue layer from a textured blue card stock, and the topping from brown – chocolate must have been on my mind…

I used a little ink blending around the edges of each die cut, and even across the middle of the topping layers to create some dimension. These two layers were applied to the cupcake base with 3D foam. The cherry is also from the same die set, die cut from light pink, ink blended around the edges, assembled, then glossy accents applied for a little shine.

Whilst drying, I die cut the sentiment – from a Simon Hurley/Spellbinders die set – the banner out of dark blue, the letters from the sentiment were attached – each individual piece of each letter – using the other piece as a template to get the spacing right.

The background is a lilac piece of card stock, and run through with a Spellbinders embossing folder, and white pigment ink gently swiped across the top to try and pick up some details. You can see that more on the banner sections of the background.

Another addition was to splatter some Lawn Fawn ‘Liquid Stardust’ across the background panel, and across the cupcake.

The background panel was adhered with glue, the cupcake and sentiment were adhered with 3D foam.

I shall be entering the following challenges:
